To determine if each spelling word follows the v/vc or the vc/v pattern, we need to identify the vowel and consonant sounds in each word. Here are the words sorted accordingly:

1. tyrant
2. equal
3. recent
4. closet
5. smokey

Note: In this context, "v" represents a vowel sound, and "c" represents a consonant sound.
To determine if each spelling word follows the v/vc or the vc/v pattern, you need to analyze the vowel and consonant patterns in each word.
The v/vc pattern refers to words that have a vowel followed by a consonant, such as "tyrant" (ty-rant), "recent" (re-cent), and "panic" (pan-ic). In these words, the vowel is followed by a consonant.
The vc/v pattern refers to words that have a consonant followed by a vowel, followed by another consonant, such as "equal" (e-qual), "closet" (clos-et), and "minus" (mi-nus). In these words, the consonant is followed by a vowel, followed by another consonant.
Using this information, we can categorize each word into the appropriate pattern:
v/vc pattern:
- tyrant
- recent
- panic
vc/v pattern:
- equal
- humor
- profile
- linen
- closet
- student
- smokey
- legal
- comet
- shiver
- minus
- loser
- punish
- cavern
- local
- decent
- vacant
By considering the vowel and consonant patterns in each word, you can determine whether they follow the v/vc or the vc/v pattern.
